We've put off paying a couple of bills long enough to be getting those annoying automated phone calls. One of them works like this:
Phone: ring! ring! ring!
Me (picking up phone): Hello?
Automated male voice: Hello! We have a very important call for you!
Ravenhub had a great response: "What is that, an interpretation service for the phone? Am I supposed to think, 'Oh! That's what that ringing was all about. Thank you for explaining!'"
He makes me smile. :)
